In Vermont this week, Danville High School senior, Andy Towle, was told by his principal that he either needed to take his kilt off or risk being allowed to walk in his high school graduation, according to the Burlington Free Press.

The kilt belonged to his late grandfather and Towle's father was proud of his son for wanting to show his Scottish heritage. The superintendent of the school district ended up overruling the principal's decision and Towle is now free to wear his kilt to school.

This is not the first time a student has been denied wearing a kilt to school.

Earlier this year, a southwestern Illinois senior was banned from wearing a kilt to his prom. According to the St. Louis Today, William Carruba was told he was not allowed to wear a kilt made of his family tartan. The superintendent in this case did not overturn the decision and said:

"We must adhere to our (dress) policy. To do otherwise would be reckless on our part."

The kilt was deemed "non-traditional" and therefore did not fit into the dress code. In the end, Carruba wore pants to his senior prom.

In other school dress code news this week, students at Stuyvesant High School in New York City organized "Slutty Wednesday" to protest the school's new dress policy. Nearly 100 students participated in the protest.

The dress code bans the exposure of shoulders, midriffs lower-backs, and underwear. Benjamin Koatz, a senior from Queens, told the New York Times

“It’s called Slutty Wednesday to symbolize that we’re not actually slutty. That’s the stigma, against wearing short-shorts, but actually, we're wearing what’s comfortable.”
